FOLLOWING three successful years in Singapore, Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants is coming to Thailand for the first time. Similar to previous years, the event will bring together the region’s most respected chefs and influential restaurateurs, together with leading industry figures and international media, to hear the announcement of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

As evidence of Thailand’s growing influence on the region’s culinary scene, Bangkok restaurants have claimed the No.1 spot on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list for the last two years. David Thompson’s Nahm took top honours in 2014 while Gaggan Anand’s eponymous restaurant secured the No.1 spot in 2015. Along with Gaggan and Nahm, the 2015 list also featured the Bangkok-based restaurants Eat Me (No.25), Bo.lan (No.37) and Issaya Siamese Club (No.39).

You can follow the announcements live via twitter @Asias50Best on Feb 29. Following the ceremony, the results of the awards will be published live at www.theworlds50best.com/asia.
